Slate tiles turned grubby when sealed.

Post by Collin »

Hi

I recently had a new bathroom installed and got slate tiles on the floor. I gave these a wash with water, waited to dry and then sealed them with QEP Grout and Tile sealer. However, the tiles have come out looking grubby with white patches and what looks like rust? The grout has also turned patchy white (see photo).

Does anyone know what products to buy to fix this and how to go about it?

Thanks!
